[English]

Que sera, sera

I chant it again today

Limits? Bring it on, shall we give it a try?

I'm not so idle that I'd abandon love—always all right, all right

Once we get past this, there's only one way: it'll get easier

...

Even if I take painkillers

the throbbing in my chest that won't disappear

by some small kindness from someone

it eases a little, you know.

Don't lose.

Hold on today as well

Protect yourself with a hardened shell

I look for reasons to give up again, though

Que sera, sera

I chant it again today

Limits, fine, all the jealousy too

Even on days when the arrow of misfortune won't leave, all right, all right

I'm gritting my teeth

But...

Today, just a little reward

I know that

Only I can love myself

If I were to be reborn?

"It's me again"

...

Even if I realize I'm alone

the connection doesn't just disappear

Sometimes is fine, sometimes is okay

Because I can truly think it's important

I want to share your happiness

Encyclopedia of tragedies

That's how I am

so selfish it's unavoidable

...

Bye-bye, the days of childish love

It's okay now, what I wish for is "from the beginning"

Baby, we aren't meant to become adults

Zarathustra

...

Que sera, sera

I chant it again today

Whose fault? Whose blame?

It's okay if I can't win

I want to have strength that doesn't lose, that's right, all right, all right

I'll get through it

Que sera, sera

I tell myself again today

Even on days when the arrow of misfortune won't leave, all right, all right

Let's not stop

So today

Just a little reward

Because a day when I can laugh will come

Only I can love myself

If I were to be reborn?

"It's me again"

Bye-bye, the days of careless love

Fanfare, the comedic "from the continuation"

Baby, we may not become adults, but

Que sera, sera

Bye-bye, an empty vessel with cracks

Fanfare, tomorrow also "from the continuation"

Baby, we may not become adults, but

Que sera, sera

It will become what it will

Que sera, sera

...

[Japanese]

ケセラセラ

今日も唱える

限界？ 上等 やってやろうか

愛を捨てるほど暇じゃない いつも all right, all right

ここを乗り越えたら 楽になるしかない

痛み止めを飲んでも

消えない胸のズキズキが

些細な誰かの優しさで

ちょっと和らいだりするんだよな

負けるな

今日も踏ん張って

固めた殻で身を守って

また諦める理由探すけど

ケセラセラ

今日も唱える

限界、上等 妬ましさも全部

不幸の矢が抜けない日でも all right, all right

食いしばってる

でもね

今日はちょっとだけご褒美を

わかっているけれど

私を愛せるのは私だけ

生まれ変わるなら？

「また私だね」

ひとりぼっちだと気付いても

繋がりは消えるわけじゃない

たまにがいい たまにでいい

ちゃんと大切だと思えるから

貴方の幸せを分けてほしい

悲劇の図鑑

私ってそう

仕方ない程 自分よがり

バイバイ 幼き愛の日々

いいよもう 願うは「はじめから」

ベイベー 大人になんかなるもんじゃないぞ

ツァラトゥストラ

ケセラセラ

今日も唱える

何のせい？ 誰のせい？

勝てなくたっていい

負けない強さを持ちたい そうさ all right, all right

乗り切ってみせる

ケセラセラ

今日も言い聞かせる

不幸の矢が抜けない日でも all right, all right

止まらないでいよう

だから、今日は

ちょっとだけご褒美を

笑える日は来るから

私を愛せるのは私だけ

生まれ変わるなら？

「また私だね」

バイバイ 無頓着な愛の日々

ファンファーレ 喜劇的な「つづきから」

ベイベー 大人になんかなるもんじゃないけど

ケセラセラ

バイバイ 空っぽ器にヒビ

ファンファーレ 明日も「つづきから」

ベイベー 大人になんかなるもんじゃないけど

ケセラセラ

なるようになるのさ
